Ultrak 496 Professional Multi-Sport Stopwatch — 500 Lap/Split Memory, Stroke Rate & Race Target Timer

The ULTRAK 496 is a professional multi-sport stopwatch that stores up to 500 lap/split times, measures stroke rate, and includes race-target timing for coaches and athletes.

Built for coaches, trainers and serious athletes, the ULTRAK 496 combines large three-row readouts with race control tools and dual memory modes so you can time multiple heats, recall earlier splits without stopping the clock, and track stroke frequency for swimmers. Its water-resistant construction and focused feature set make it suitable for track, pool and field use.

How does the 500 lap/split memory improve coaching efficiency?

The large 500-entry memory lets you capture long workouts, multi-heat meets or entire practice sessions without losing earlier data. You can review performances afterward or while the timer continues to run.

• Record up to 500 dual lap and split readings for post-session analysis.
• Block Memory separates heats or sessions to avoid mixing results.
• Single Memory handles one continuous event for straightforward timing.

Can I check previous splits during an active timing session?

Yes — the recall feature shows earlier splits while the stopwatch continues to run, so you don’t interrupt an active race or interval set. This keeps data collection continuous and helps you make real-time adjustments.

• Scroll through prior splits without pausing the stopwatch.
• Continue recording new splits during recall for uninterrupted timing.
• Useful for comparing mid-race pacing or interval consistency.

What tools help swim coaches measure stroke rate and tempo?

Stroke & Frequency mode times three strokes and calculates strokes-per-minute, giving a quick numeric readout of a swimmer’s tempo. It’s a practical way to monitor technique and consistency across sets or relay exchanges.

• Three-stroke timing yields immediate strokes-per-minute values.
• Quick checks between reps without complicated setup.
• Combine with lap/split recall for stroke-rate trends over sessions.

How does the race control / target timer support pacing work?

Enter a goal time and the ULTRAK 496 compares live performance to that target so athletes and coaches can judge pacing against a preset benchmark. It’s useful for interval workouts, race rehearsal and tempo pacing across repeats.

• Set target times for single runs, laps or intervals.
• See real-time comparisons to planned pace during a session.
• Helps athletes practice hitting consistent splits for competitive events.

Who is this for? The ULTRAK 496 is aimed at coaches, team managers and dedicated athletes who need reliable, high-capacity timing with advanced recall and stroke-rate tools. If you time multiple competitors, run interval-heavy training, or coach swim stroke mechanics, this stopwatch gives clear displays, robust memory options, and race-control features designed to streamline practice, meets and performance review.
